REEDSVILLE – It has been a very busy and eventful year for the Reedsville FFA chapter. Members Mason Loose, Lance Brandt, Connor Willems and Alex Bubolz received their state degrees at the state FFA convention. Morgan Vogel and Chloe Sebo were official delegates and Katie Ziemer received the PRIDE Award for Reedsville at the state convention.

Kyle Laabs and Karissa Frank received the American FFA degree at the National FFA convention in Louisville, Ky. The American degree is the highest award an FFA member can receive.

Trevor Mack, Travis Schultz and Brandon Magley, who are in charge of the FFA land, decided to plant corn this year, and they sold it as high moisture corn. Brandon was in charge of all the jobs associated with ordering fertilizer, tillage, spraying and harvesting the corn. The 100-plus members of our chapter have also been involved in many community service projects, safety projects, Food for America projects and recreation events that were decided on by the 15 Reedsville FFA officer team during their summer officer retreat with advisor Allan Schuh in Door County.

Some of the events included donating SMV signs to Reedsville Equity, giving holiday baskets to area assisted living homes, building benches for Bubolz Field for the village of Reedsville, handing out more than 1,000 seedling trees, and cleaning up the highways through the Adopt-A-Highway program.

Travis Schultz and Alex Bubolz also attended the Halftime Conference this year and a group of sophomore boys, which included Riley Kasper, Hunter Schamburek, Isaiah Behling, Josh O' Hearn and Daniel Kocourek, competed at the Denmark FFA trap shoot this past spring.
